Not sure why this is as I have not changed my settings to my knowledge. Normally if someone replies I get an e mail. I've been into my profile and as far as I can see I should get e mails , so long as I log in and look at a post YBW will keep notifying. Any clue where I am going wrong? Thanks for any answers. I'll keep checking here as well asmy e mail.:)
 
Same thing happened to me on Monday, all notifications were going into the spam folder, don't know why.
 
Could do but did not think it was web "news". And not sure that many look at that and I wanted help to access my PBO thread. But thanks for replying :). I did not get a notifying e mail though which is a wind up

Hmmm. I use Trusteer for banking stuff and have had some strangeness there which I have tried to sort. Maybe the glitch lies there coz there is nothing in my junk e mail

It has never worked for me.

That's the trouble it has always worked for me, or at least pretty good. So long as I click on the link in the e mail telling me I have a notification I will get another notification once I have logged out. Now I'm having to log into to YBW to look at the threads I'm interested and contributing too, which inevitably means I get sucked into spending to much time on YBW when I really ought to be do other things (so I'm told :). I have emailed YBW via the Contact tab so we will see what happens.

My notifications have stopped coming through as well. It is amazing how much more I am getting done since I haven't had the distraction of popping onto the forum whenecer I get an email!

Ha. The opposite logic has been applied in my post above. Must get off this ***** computer

Assuming you have not altered your settings for this perhaps there is problem with cookies which stops the emails because its not recognising the fact that you have clicked the link in the email.

If you don't normally actually log out from the forums try doing that, to clear all the cookies , and then log back in again.

Otherwise check that there is not an email notification somewhere that you have overlooked

Thanks Vic. Still no joy. I've cleared my cookies and done the logging in and out. I wonder if the site is simply too busy at the moment. Definitely had no e mails
 
Must admit, I wasn't even aware that there was a system of getting an email alert to a contributed thread. Just glad it's not compulsory.
 
Could I have too many threads I am subscibed to? I have about four pages worth. But if I log out of YBW then when I come back and look at my subscribed threads it seems they automatically uncheck the tick box. So I check the "All subscribed threads" again and leave it, but nothing then changes once I have logged out, and I don't get notifications.
